Let's say you are at a record store, or maybe even an online store and you find a record you've never heard of before that appeals to you based on the awesome cover artwork or the very metal name of the band. You look at the record closely trying to decipher whether you will like it enough to grant your money. What turns you off?

seeing a shitty record label's name on the back of it._________________[quote="Endless Morbidity"]fuck "deluxe" bullshit. Albums don't need extra trinkets and shit. These are METAL records, not cracker jacks.[/quote]

So basically... who gives a cats whiskers?[/quote]

Seeing a genera name in a song or album title. This point can be argued, but it says a lot to me. Venom's "Black Metal" is one thing. Nargaroth's "Black Metal ist Krieg" is another._________________Whore's Skeleton - Black Noise/Power Electronics

Anything dorky, cartoonish, comic book style ect., having a picture of the band members on the front (the exception being classic Darkthrone and maybe a few others), and having too many colours/ no unified mood._________________

The involvment of certain individuals
Certain band-pics
Everything "retro" - styled, like all the Black Sabbath rip off Doom trend-shit
Song-titles that smell of brainless lyrics and total idiots
Certain labels
Re-releases with different artwork
